Former Vice President Dick Cheney is probably going to hell for his role in the Iraq War, Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC) said while speaking at a Young Americans for Liberty conference in Raleigh, N.C.

"Congress will not hold anyone to blame," Jones said. " "Lyndon Johnson's probably rotting in hell right now because of the Vietnam War — and he probably needs to move over for Dick Cheney."

The remark drew applause from the audience, while Jones went on to praise Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) for helping him understand the role of the constitution and Congress when deciding whether to go to war. (Young Americans for Liberty stemmed from Paul's 2008 presidential campaign.)

Jones himself voted in favor of the war in 2003, but has expressed regret about the decision and become a vocal critic.

"Too many times in Washington nobody apologizes, especially when you send young men and women to die," he said. "We apologize if we get caught by the police driving drunk, if we have an affair, then we apologize. But never does anyone apologize for buying into a lie to send men and women to die."

If Jones' name sounds familiar, it may be because of another initiative he'd taken up: changing the name of "french fries" to "freedom fries."

Probably not Warren, despite all of her positives she's actually kind of hawkish on foreign policy and Israel issues.

The thinking of Congressional Dems like Schumer and Menendez is really perplexing to me. I don't see how you can keep your mouth shut when Netanyahu is taking the Israeli American relationship and changing it from an international alliance into slogan for Tea Partiers to bludgeon liberals with.

If they actually cared about Israel's well being they would be denouncing Netanyahu in the strongest terms possible.

I didn't see the movie, but I have read "War Is A Racket" by Marine Major General Smedley Butler, wherein he states:

"War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small 'inside' group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes."

That's as true today as it was in 1935 when Butler wrote it. And if you don't believe me just ask the investor/war profiteers of Halliburton, Lockheed Martin, General Electric, and all of the military contractors who made billions on the invasion of Iraq.
